Despite the persisting global financial crisis, the banking sector in Poland recorded a robust growth in 2011. The total assets of commercial banks increased by 12% yoy, the net banking revenue went up by 9% and the bottom line surged by over 33% to 14.5 billion PLN.

The good condition of banks operating in Poland is contrasting with the troubled banking sectors in Western Europe. Forced by regulators to improve balance sheets, short on capital and lacking liquidity, more and more Western European banks consider cashing on their Polish subsidiaries. The funding of lending expansion with cheap credit, previously abundantly pumped up to Poland, by foreign banks is coming to an end. Poland's banks are expected now to become self-contained in terms of funding of their lending. Unfortunately, the local deposit markets are not deep enough to accommodate all the needs, so bonds and other long term financing options are becoming increasingly popular in filling the gap.

The future outlook for the sector is still positive. Key banking volumes are expected to sustain growth, while profits of banks are likely to remain at the current level.
